Ostensibly a Central Asian war fantasy about a conflict between the Cossacks and the Tartars, Mehboob’s film proposes a tale advocating national independence. The Cossacks are oppressed by the despotic Russian king (Siddiqui) and his minister Jabir (Kayamali), who has Tartar blood in him. General Murad (Kumar) covertly sides with the opposition, gets arrested for treason and escapes. He meets the wild Gulnar (Sitara Devi) and gets her to spy as a maid of Princess Nigar (Bibbo). Nigar falls for Murad and Gulnar withdraws from the scene for the sake of her nation. Eventually Nigar, at the head of an army of women, helps defeat the villains.

Childless farmer Ram Dayal comes across an abandoned child, who had landed from a spaceship, takes him home to his wife, where they decide to adopt him and name him Jaikumar. When he grows up he excels in wrestling, overcoming even much older children. Then he uses his powers to discover buried treasure, which his foster father donates to the Government. Years later, Jaikumar has re-located to Bombay where he works as a Journalist with a publication called 'Azad Desh'. Using his super-powers, he is able to unearth a number of criminal conspiracies and makes phone calls as 'Mr. Superman' to Inspector Dilip Desai. Then a series of robberies take place and the police are notified by victim/complainants that the culprit is none other than the masked caped crusader himself. Watch what impact this has on Jaikumar's credibility with the police and public on one hand and with gangsters on the other.

Three love stories that take place simultaneously but do not intersect, because the characters do not interact with each other, even though they all live in the same neighborhood. Govinda, a gloomy Airai boy who was cruelly separated from his beloved girlfriend, Chalvi, who was expelled from the village. Johnny Braganza, a waiter who has just been released from prison after being unjustly accused of falsifying the accounts of the hotel owner, Ferrara, who successfully seduces Johnny's girlfriend, Stella. Now he is setting up a car garage at the same intersection.

The narrative follows the classic golden-age trope of a complicated love story. The romance between the characters played by Motilal and Suraiya is tested by rigid family hierarchies, societal expectations, and the pressures of arranged marriages
